"are you guys ready?" shuhua asked, combing her hair. she smiled at her own reflection on the mirror.

"i d-don't know. i wasn't informed that it was going to be performed here, on the school stage, and that all of the students are going to watch. i thought it was just going to be inside class." doyeon said, peeking through the curtains.

"don't worry, you'll do great." seungmin said, fixing his necktie as he smiled. "we'll do great."

doyeon watched as seungmin fixed his tie, making sure it wouldn't choke him. she scanned his whole body and outfit, from head to toe, and he looked dashing.

"there you are again, staring at me." seungmin snapped doyeon out of her thoughts while smirking.

"shut up, i was just making sure you look great, which you always do."

"what did you say?"

"n-nothing."

"the stage is ready! be prepared in five minutes, students!" mrs. park announced, looking around at the students who were busy preparing themselves.

after a few minutes, the curtains opened and mrs. park started to speak as she was the host.

"what number are we?" doyeon asked shuhua, clinging onto her arm.

"we're the third performer," shuahua said. "and stop clinging onto my arm, doyeon. are you that anxious? you've performed on this stage before. it's not your first time."

"yeah, it's not my first time performing on this stage but it's my first time performing with seungmin." doyeon said in a low voice, trying to make sure seungmin didn't hear anything.

"tell me, do you have a crush on him?"

"m-maybe.."

"maybe yes? maybe no?"

"yes."

"knew it. you're too obvious." shuhua said, pushing her away from her arm.

"d-don't tell him."

"why do i have to? it looks like he likes you too."

"you think so?"

shuhua rolled her eyes playfully at doyeon and doyeon just punched her arm in return.

"just act chill when you two dance." shuhua told doyeon, patting her arm. "i'll go to the comfort room, i won't be long."

doyeon nodded and sat on the chair shuhua used to sat on. she looked at her reflection and saw that her hair was a little messy. she picked up the comb and started to brush her hair with it.

from afar, seungmin was leaning on the wall, watching doyeon fix her hair. his lips formed a smile as he admired her beauty. her nose, her lips, her eyes; all her soft features made her look innocent and delicate. all he wanted was to hug and protect her.

"you've been staring at her for a pretty long time now." felix interrupted seungmin's daydreaming, snapping him back to reality.

"how can i not? have you seen her beauty? she's so angelic, so angelic that she looks like a real angel." seungmin said, returning to stare at her after gettint startled by felix.

"whipped ass culture." felix rolled his eyes at his friend.

"oh shut up, as if you don't talk about changbin like that. gay ass culture."

"what?! he's the cutest human being ever alive i want to wrap him with bubble wrap. i still don't understand what you hate a human being such as him."

"his aegyo is cringy, have you seen it?"

"as if yours isn't-"

"i'm naturally cute, shut your mouth already."

suddenly, it became darker with only a few lights on. turns out, the stage lights were already off. seungmin peeked through the curtains and saw mrs. park in the middle of the stage, a circle light shining on her.

"good day, students and teachers." she began to speak. "i'm glad to know that all of you are here, about to witness the presentations and performances of my class."

seungmin took a deep breath and looked over at doyeon, who was already running in circles, hands on her chest. she looked like she was about to fall any second.

"whoa, calm down." seungmin said, holding doyeon's shoulders, stopping her from running in circles.

"seungmin, i'm going to fail this-"

"you're not going to, okay? we practiced hard for this."

"i-i don't know, what if i forget a move? and what if i trip? a-and-"

seungmin shushed doyeon and pushed her head, making it rest on his chest since she was shorter than him. doyeon closed her eyes and hugged seungmin's waist tightly.

"you're not going to make a mistake. you're going to do amazing." seungmin whispered on her ear.

"we're going to do amazing." doyeon said, before letting go of his waist to look up at him and smile. "thank you."

seungmin smiled back. he couldn't help but stare at her beautiful brown orbs. they shone brightly even though it was a bit dark backstage.

his smile widened, as he thought what it'd be like to be hers. her one and only.
